# Clockout vs Badger

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Badger at 100% against Clockout's 62%. Badger also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Clockout's advantage is ratings volume (8K vs 4) and chart position (#112 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Clockout sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Badger sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $50.00 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Badger holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Clockout has 8K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of Clockout's written reviews are positive against 100% of Badger's.

Clockout ships an update weekly, Badger every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
